In the third year of Yuanfeng, an urgent report came from Shuofang County, "The cavalry of the Hu people was found at the foot of Yin Mountain, and it seems that some Hu people have entered Henan." ”

Although there was no report of the war, the imperial court still acted immediately, and the Han court never took the Hu people in the north lightly.

And according to years of observation, the Hu people on the grassland are indeed gradually flourishing again.

Emperor Xiaoding Liu Jin's fifteen years of repeated defeats gave many tribes on the grassland a chance to breathe, Liu Dan did not move troops to the grassland in the early stage, and there were too many victories in the later stage, and the strong enemies around him were defeated by him, so he repeatedly ordered the general to patrol the border, boasting about the martial arts of the Han court, and deterring the barbarians on the grassland.

This kind of patrol cannot be said to be useless, it can only be said that there is a problem with the brain.

The Han Dynasty could defeat the Xiongnu, but not the grassland, the grassland was there, extending in all directions, and if a tribal group failed, a new tribal group would rise.

Not to mention that the Xiongnu, a country with a relatively complete system, is extremely difficult to eliminate.

Usually the countries on the steppe perished, either due to civil strife or annexed by other countries on the steppe, and only very rarely were directly defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty.

There is a very interesting thing about reading history, that is, after a few decades in the Central Plains, it is still that dynasty, but the enemy country on the grassland has changed several times.

When Liu Ying had received the news from Shuofang County, he knew that his real first test had come.

He did a very good job in the political struggle and civil rule in the country, but the foreign war was a completely different dimension.

War can quickly accumulate prestige, and Liu Che and Liu Dan entered the unification as princes and kings, and they both gained a firm foothold through the victory of the war.

Liu Yi also needs to go this way, but he knows very well that the current Dahan has just recovered a little.

It can't be like Emperor Xiaowu when he started the national war, if he really did that, the first to explode was the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, the current Hu people are not qualified to fight the Han Dynasty.

Despite all these disasters, the world is still invincible!

So he issued an edict, "I have received a military information about Shuofang County, and the Hu people who once ravaged the border have appeared at the foot of Yin Mountain, and they are trying to enter the Henan land of my Han again."

This is the territory left by Emperor Xiaowu for the Han Dynasty, even if it is a person like Emperor Er, can it be lost in my hands?

Alas.

This is going to have to go to war with the Hu people.

But now there are still many problems in the Han Dynasty, and if you start the war easily, I am afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of Emperor Xiaoding.

That's what I don't want to see.

I have inherited the throne with my shallow virtue, I have never experienced a war, and my prestige is not enough to deter the generals who go out on the expedition, and it is not enough to convince the soldiers and the people.

If you don't work together, it will be difficult to win.

When King Wen of Gao Hou was regent, he once said that if the status of the Son of Heaven is promoted, the status of the Son of Heaven will be prosperous, the world will be stable, and the people will fight for the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, according to the presentation of the Marquis of Shouguang, the official position of the court and the county was redetermined, and it was clear that the rank of the county guard exceeded the level of the minister, and the world calmed down.

Now that a hundred years have passed, I think that the world has changed, and there are some bad arguments among the people, so what good is it for the world to make the feelings of the people complicated?

Now I want to start a war with the Hu people, but there are a lot of remarks about not wanting to war, I am very worried, and I am not willing to follow the example of Emperor Er, and do not let the people speak.

The Kanto region is still in the midst of exhaustion, and this is what I know, so this war will recruit the children of Guanzhong and Mikawa, because they are closer to me.

Now it has been decided to divide the Sanfu region according to the original Sanqin, and the prefect of the Sanfu is like Jiuqing, making them noble.

The Sanhe region used to be the place where the Holy King built the capital, and the land of Heluo is the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, because it is in the middle of the world, and it is the place where Jiuding was born and the king ruled everything.

There are two capitals in the Zhou room, and the six armies of the Son of Heaven exchange guards with each other in Hojing and Luoyi, and I want to follow suit.

Now that the county guard of the Sanhe area has been raised to a higher level, and the Sanhe area has become my other palace, all kinds of rewards are like Guanzhong, and the children of Sanhe must have the courage to join the army to serve the imperial court.

During the reign of the Emperor, the people were displaced, and they even used criminals and hooligans as soldiers, so the Han army lost its glory and bravery, and I was unwilling to use these people, so I wanted to abandon them.

Now I want to follow the example of all the meritorious ancestors, select good families from the six counties of Guanzhong to enrich the forbidden army, and I also hope to recruit knights who are good at fighting from the land of the three rivers and also fill the forbidden army.

I will give the reward of exemption from forced labor and the reduction of taxes, just as I did in the days of Emperor Xiaowu. ”

Taking advantage of the possible conquest of the Hu people, the children of Guanzhong and the Sanhe region were allowed to serve in the military, and the position of the central court was legally elevated.

The technical term is to focus on the inside and ignore the outside, expand the basic plate, and incorporate the Mikawa area into the standing system.

During the period of Emperor Er, due to a large number of foreign conquests, the number of Liangjiazi in Guanzhong fell sharply, and he had to use prisoners, and now Liu Ying has decided to replenish high-quality soldiers from the Sanhe region.

The Three Rivers region has a long history of elite divisions, and was one of the main forces in the Han Dynasty's foreign conquests, and now Liu Ai has elevated their political status and given them political and economic privileges, which has made the entire Three Rivers region excited.

The heroes of Kanto looked at the edict and could only shout in vain: "Kanto is far away, the emperor star is not hanging, Kanto is traveling, the emperor star is not hanging." ”

In dynasties like the Han Dynasty, military service was an honorable task, because military service had room to rise, as evidenced by the fact that only good families could enter the army.

Now the emperor allows the children of the Guanzhong and Mikawa regions to join the army, but does not let the children of the Kanto region join the army, which is suppressing the Kanto.

However, there was no suppression of the Kanto region in the edict, and it was even very considerate to say that the Kanto region was tired and not suitable to participate in the war for the time being.

According to the principle of relativity, if the Guanzhong and Sanhe areas are raised, then the other areas will naturally be lowered.

The former hand rewarded the princes of the Kanto region, and the latter hand began to suppress the political status of the Kanto, which seems very contradictory, but in fact it is an extremely normal means.

There is no contradiction between treating the heroes of the appeasement and suppressing the Kwantung forces.

Many people ignore one thing, the original setting of the town guard princes and the feudal kings was to deter the Kanto, not to raise the Kanto.

Every emperor of the Han dynasty favored Guanzhong.

But if you think about it carefully, except for Emperor Xiaowen who was a native of Guanzhong, the emperors who started with Liu Bang all came from Guandong.

But no matter where an emperor comes from, in the end he will definitely be biased towards Guanzhong, just like the princes who guarded the town were originally nobles in Guanzhong, and after staying in Kanto for a long time, they naturally became Kwantung people and would prefer Kwantung.

Why did Wei Ping want to die to admonish him, he must send grain out of Guanzhong to help Kanto, because the princes of Guandong took the road of Luo's family, and they relied on the righteousness of the imperial court and their own reputation to stand tall in Kanto.

The difference is that Luo's own force is relatively strong, and the strength of the Kwantung town guard liehou himself is not particularly strong, as I said before, the soldiers of the county are in the hands of the county guard, and only in wartime, the liehou can collect the military power with a golden order, and can only rely on private soldiers at other times.

As Luo Si said at the Changle Palace that day, "The country is no more than a thousand households, the people are not more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers are only 100."

The imperial court gave the princes a feudal state, so that they could enjoy wealth forever, and they could fail again and again, and even the great crime of rebellion would not remove the country, but cut the land and cut the households, and the first evil was exiled, but it also gave a great restriction, that is, the land must not be given an inch!

The counties and counties can annex land without restrictions, but if the feudal states dare to annex an inch outside the Hou country, they will be guilty of treason!

The close relationship with the royal family can recommend the power of officials, and the fame brought by generations of defending the land is a sharp weapon in the hands of the liehous, if the fame is lost, the power will be cut in half in an instant, and if the court takes back the golden seal, you can commit suicide directly.

Although Liu Ai has driven all the heroes of Jingnan back to Kanto, he has increased the number of places they recommend, and the main channel for the imperial court to appoint officials is one of the students, and the other is to recommend, except for every special situation to require the county to recommend one or two virtuous and upright or talented and filial piety.

The main thing is the prince and prince who has the right to recommend, and Wei Qing quickly entered the eyes of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty through Zhou Yafu's recommendation.

To some extent, Liu Aiji's actions even severed the connection between the Kwantung liehous, the Kwantung Shimin and the Kwantung Haoqiang, because the Kwantung was damaged, but the Kwantung lieves benefited!

People don't suffer from inequality!

This is the truest human heart.

No one knows if this is an unintentional move by Liu Aiji, or if it has been premeditated for a long time, but it is impossible for the princes of Kwantung to rush over and say to the emperor: "You must treat Kwantung equally, and if you do this now, do you treat the Kwantung people as your people?" ”

The situation has not yet reached this point, and although the Chang'an Imperial Court has been unfair, it has made great efforts to suppress the powerful and powerful people in Kanto, especially Liu Yi has repeatedly inspected the officials and lawless things in the Kanto, and the status of the imperial court in the hearts of the ordinary people in the Kanto region is not low.

To put it mildly, those people whose lives are even very difficult only hope to be fed and clothed, and they cannot reach the point where they need political and economic status.

The court raised the butcher's knife against Haoqiang, which was to protect these most ordinary people, and if this was done, the people would not rise up against the court.

Without the support of millions of people, without the famous princes taking the lead, and only relying on the heroes and scholars of the Kanto region, there would be no storm for the time being.

When the edict reached Zhaocheng, Luo Wujian coughed twice and muttered softly: "Hu Ren is really here, no wonder my health is getting worse and worse." ”

The author's hometown is in Hebei, you know, a big plot is about to start again, it should be two big plots
